Rather than taking cars to the impound lot, detectives determined Brian Chacon was taking cars to junkyards and salvage lots to sell.
A tow truck driver with Aurora-based Eagle Wing Towing has been arrested on suspicion of stealing at least 48 cars, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office announced Friday.
During the investigation detectives also found that Chacon possessed child pornography, the sheriff’s office said in a news release Friday. He was arrested in Denver after the Douglas County officials issued a warrant for his arrest in the case on Aug. 9. “I am very proud of our patrol deputies and detectives’ work on this case,” Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly said in a statement. “This suspect was preying on people who trusted that their vehicles would still be in the locations where they left them, whether they were disabled or otherwise.”
